North Hills / Raleigh 4K (DJI Mavic Air 2S Drone Footage) Raleigh's 2nd Skyline!!

North Hills is a mixed use development located in Raleigh, North Carolina that includes stores, restaurants, entertainment, commercial offices, residential living and a continuing care retirement community. There is a large outdoor commons area which features events such as live concerts, festivals, and a farmers' market.
The development lies at the intersection of Six Forks and Lassiter Mills Roads, just to the north of the Six Fork Road interchange on I-440. Major anchors to the development include Target, the Rennaissance Raleigh Hotel, and a Regal Cinema 14-screen movie theater, as well as former anchor JCPenney, which closed in April 2020, with its site being redeveloped for a new anchor store, Restoration Hardware.
The development is built on the site of a former shopping mall, called North Hills Mall, which was the first enclosed shopping mall in between Atlanta and Washington DC.
The site is divided into three districts by Six Forks Road and Lassiter Mills Road, known as Main District, Lassiter District, and Park District.
Main District, lying south of Lassiter Mills Road and west of Six Forks Road is the site of the former North Hills Shopping Mall, and was the first to be redeveloped into the mixed-use development. It features the Target, Regal Cinema, Renaissance Hotel, and the former JCPenney. It also includes a number of smaller shops and restaurants.
Lassiter District, lying north of Lassiter Mills Road and west of Six Forks Road contains a residential tower known as the Alexan, and a number of smaller shops and restaurants, the most prominent being a Total Wine shop, formerly a Harris Teeter grocery store (before their move across the street to Park District). The largest of the three districts, and also the most recently opened, is Park District, which lies east of Six Forks Road and south of Dartmouth Road.
Park District contains three large office towers, Captrust Tower, Advance Auto Parts Tower, and Bank of America Tower, as well as an AC Hotel, several residential towers, and a number of restaurants and nightlife locations, as well as smaller shops. The site is anchored by a large two-story Harris Teeter grocery store.
North Hills Mall originally opened in 1960 and was converted to an enclosed mall in 1967.[2] It was not only the first enclosed mall in Raleigh, it was also the first two-story, air-conditioned indoor mall between Washington, D.C. and Atlanta.[3] It originally opened a few years earlier as a small strip center before being redeveloped into a mall. It had a simple rectangular design with two floors, the upper level opening onto Six Forks Road and the lower level facing a parking deck on Lassiter Mill Road. Anchors at that time were JCPenney, Ivey's, and Woolworth. At the opposite end of the mall from Penney, there was originally a large fountain, although this was torn down and the space became part of a restaurant, "Ragamuffin's", in 1979. A K&W Cafeteria was a popular destination at the south end of the mall for more than three decades.

What an awesome video! Y'all might think I'm crazy but looking at the trajectory between downtown and North Hills, could there be a possibility of downtown and North Hills linking up? Not that far apart! Maybe I've missed out on a discussion about the potential but how awesome would that be?!!! Would be totally bad ass!!!
